can i borrow your sunglasses
the world is too bright today
i need to see the crosshatches
that divide your reality
into black and white
force everything back into ordinary lines
and remind me about gravity
i need those thick rims you carry
that cut out all those rough edges
the parts of the world
that you don't want to deal with
the sharp sparkling parts
that keep others at bay
unless they are willing to bend
under the radar
keep their knees caved over
spine wobbled
till you deign to notice
can i borrow your glasses today?
i can be blind
and you can be me.
